Looks like Vic has a tattoo on his arm

Vic and Lance look really bad. Wearing shocking suits. Terrible Player Models (Probably a Beta though)

Vic in the car with the Cross Dresser. Possibly Mikala from K-Chat in VC. Also there is an asian gang following them. Could be a new gang in Vice City.

A Nice Jet Ski/Chopper Pic
Firtsly I'd like to say these screens could be alot better. After looking at them Im definatley not impressed.
Summary Of Gordon Hall Interview
- There are twice as many pologons per block in VCS than there were in LCS
- When you take to the water on Jet-Ski's (depending on weather conditions you may be alble to bounce up and down, and momentarily go underneath the water.
- Using the new Draw Distance players will be able to see much further When you are in the air, pedestrians, cars, and anything on the ground will scale down depending on how close or far the player is to them, much as they would in real life.
- Aerial and Boat vehicles both take roles in Multiplayer
- They are really pleased with the First time vehicles making appearances.
- The targeting System has been tweaked once more, it's taken a fresh look although it isnt a complete overhaul
- The combat system has more depth to it than previous GTA games, the biggest change has been to unarmed combat - you can now perform grappling moves and throws, you can get on top of an opponent on the ground for ground domination, and more. (Sounds cool Yes)
the soundtrack has over 100 tracks, and is probably the best, deepest collection of songs ever assembled for any one project -- TV, Film, or Game.
There just some of the things mentioned in the Interview. Check it out here (http://psp.ign.com/articles/731/731884p1.html)
After reading the Interview Im a definatley happy with how this game is turning out. I just hope hand to hand combat isnt too complex. Rockstar never seem to make things too complex though, which is awesome.
Edit: Im also keeping a close eye on Gamespot. Although they are not as sharp as IGN, in the past they have been prone to having GTA updates on saturdays.

The Chopper looks nice.

Nice to see that visible interiors have returned, or have they? *Me thinks back to San Andreas beta pics..*

Hmm, pool tables, tattoo, possible returning features? Hot screenshots. Thanks for posting ;)
Nice coverage Victim, good to see there's a new variant of chopper.
Slim Trashman
09-08-2006, 10:47 PM
Yeah I noticed that. I didn't know if it was my eyes or some glitchy texture in the background. Not the best angle, looks to be maybe a coastguard chopper?
That should be TV chopper, you know Vic has to ski for a chocolate ad and the camera will be rolled from a chopper.
Slim Trashman
09-08-2006, 11:05 PM
Ah yeah, that mission with the film studio where he does all kinds of crazy stunts.
victim
09-08-2006, 11:09 PM
Maybe there will be Tattoo customizing. I just hope that isnt Vic's equivelent to Tommy's Soiree. Is it just me or does Vic have a massive line down his right side in the pic with the m4 and Lance. Or is it just lighting and shadowing?
Ya, that looks like lightening, has the same effect on his left arm.
victim
09-08-2006, 11:50 PM
It's bad lighting. Do you agree. And Vic looks really old in that photo with the weird lighting.
Ya, he does look different in that.
Have you noticed the texts in that board? It says 'Club amco' or something.
That should explain the 'Club' text in the artwork.

Nice work Asif. Also it looks like its in Little Haiti in you look out the window. But im not sure. The gates just seem to look like the ones near the sewer place in Vice City.
Lauwee

I think that first pic, also Victim's signature, is a take from a cutscene. If so, wow.
This game looks to revolutionize the potential of the PSP.
victim
09-09-2006, 12:20 AM
Yeah Id say its the same Cutscene as this footage seen in the trailer. Just at different times.

Jeez, those beta models look ugly as hell.
but boy the more and more i see victor the more of a bad ass he looks.

Yeah, got to me thinking that the building outside it could be by a 'pink' one-storey building at the Little Havana. I'll check out.

Also. In this picture
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3298/vcsxd0.png (http://imageshack.us)
1. New houses or New Land all together
2. Seems Shifty. look Closely at the clud in the area. Is it a co-incidence that its a darker shade of cloud than the rest. Or is it a building rockstar are hiding.
I never thought there was that much of a gap in the land between Leaf Links and The Mainland either. I mean they must be pretty close to Leaf Links to be that far away from the mainland (seeing as that looks alot like the Leaf Links Bridge.
I think what im trying to say is that Rockstar are just trying to make that area look like the mainland when it could possibly be new a area. Im way too hopefull
Those buildings (in 1) are the ones from the prawn island. You may look at this old comparison...

Ah shit I see. Leaf Links is barely visable in The VCS screen though. That was my problem.
Multi player boat races should be fun. If they bring this game to PS2 (which I cant see not happening with what this game is shaping up to be) I hope they keep multiplayer. Even if its two person split screen I would be incredibly happy.

And, the Leaf Links is now visible in the 3rd pic.
Yeah, and we saw it in the trailer before this too. Must have been an early beta screen as people had guessed, that originally didn't show Leaf Links.
Yeah, that beta one also isolated the Prawn island from the West island. ;P
victim

I was thinking about the new hand on hand fighting thing. Sounds alot like The Warriors. Grapples, throws, mounting fallen enemies. It probably wont be as complex as the Warriors. But expect something similar. But it only turns on when you have a Melee or No Weapon when you aim at somebody. God damn. I want to see a video of this fighting.
Edit: Just thinking some more. Rockstar seem to take stuff out of their other games and fit them into GTA.
Manhunt = Stealth Kills in San Andreas
The Warriors = Fighting Style in VCS
Bully = Going to school in GTA IV:P
Vic looks alot moore updated and remade, look at his face... kinda reminds of Cash
Hes probobly been update to fit Ving rhames moore
victim
09-09-2006, 07:36 AM
Except Ving Rhames isn't voicing him. Have you even seen the trailer?
Yeah, but i thought they might shanged the sound of Ving talking or somthing... altho i read here somwhere Ving was gonna voice him... who is voiseing Vic?
victim
09-09-2006, 07:53 AM
Nobody recognises the voice. Its probably a fresh face. As me and Lettermaniac talked about earlier.

IGN must of gotten to test the game a LONG time ago and are just now able to post/release info and screens.

doesnt it look here that the mansion from MV might not be there yet, and there seems to be a huge hotel like building in its place

The picture isnt showing up, because you mistyped the link. Are you refering to Vercetti mansion? It's still there.
Slim Trashman
09-09-2006, 01:41 PM
Either there or under construction, and would be properly referred to as The Diaz Estates ;)
oh, well yeah. it ws that mansion.
The mansion is still there Slim, but this time with less trees around it,as seems.

something tells me that this is from a Cut Scene, also im gonna take a wild guess and say that thats a younger Phil Cassidy Vic, and the "army Dude"
and also
since it wont let me Quote a quote,
the biggest change has been to unarmed combat - you can now perform grappling moves and throws, you can get on top of an opponent on the ground for ground domination, and more.
could it be the fight system from the warriors makes an appearance in GTA VCS?!

Not sure if that's a cutscene, but those 2 are random character models for the army.
From another angle..

Ehh, looks more like an in-game close up than a full blown cutscene.
Those in-game ones were pathetic excuses for actual cutscenes in LCS. Hopefully they won't half-ass it this time around.
Havok
09-09-2006, 03:17 PM
ya completly agree with you lauwee, but i dont know, it just seems like a cut scene to me, but on second thought i completly retract what i said about it possibly being Phil, Vic, and the army guy.

The water doesn't look very impressive.
The water is bit unusual in #3, but it looks great if you have checked the trailer and the vid on official site.

You really shouldn't say the graphics are that bad i mean after all it is for the psp and the screens looked awesome and i read the interview about GTA VCS it is just getting me excited.
When the hell did I say the graphics were bad? What I said was the screens were bad.
Edit: To all those people whoe were talking about the Vercetti Mansion earlier its there. Starfish Island is under Construction though. You can get a glimpse of it in Jock Cranley's public service announcment on the official site.
